Case Study

Client Overview

SThree is a global recruitment group operating across specialised STEM sectors, placing tens of thousands of candidates each year. As video interviewing became a core part of modern talent acquisition, SThree recognised the need for a solution that went beyond standard video tools. They wanted a platform that allowed candidates to show who they really are, highlight their personality, and stand out in competitive hiring processes—a product that matched their global footprint and reputation for innovation. Showcaser was envisioned as the next step in recruitment technology: a platform-agnostic video experience accessible across web browsers and native mobile apps, offering a seamless, secure way for users to record responses, share answers, and showcase their potential. To achieve this vision, SThree needed a product partner capable of building a high-performance, cloud-native, enterprise-secure video platform from the ground up.

Challenge

Zilch set an ambitious goal: launch a fully compliant digital wallet in just four months. Innovify was tasked with building the platform from the ground up, fast, secure, and ready for scale.

The project came with critical technical and compliance requirements:

  • PCI DSS certification and FCA approval, ensuring full regulatory compliance
  • Ultra-low latency transactions under 250 milliseconds, delivering a seamless user experience.
  • Successful integration of multiple third-party APIs, including GPS, Xero, and CashFlows

The solution is cloud-native, API-first, and built for scalability, enabling Zilch to launch confidently and expand across the UK market. With compliance-by-design and optimized architecture, the product is ready for rapid growth.

SThree wanted to enter the video-interviewing market—but with a clear differentiator. The challenge was multifaceted:

  • Build a platform-agnostic experience across web and native mobile
  • Deliver frictionless video recording, transcoding, and playback
  • Implement secure AWS cloud-based processing
  • Design an infrastructure with micro-permissions to ensure enterprise-grade security
  • Balance innovation, usability, and simplicity in a crowded competitive market

The product needed to stand out through exceptional UX and recruiter-ready reliability, not through feature overload.

  • Agile sprints and continuous collaboration
  • Rapid usability testing with real target groups
  • Frequent refinement of the product proposition
  • Integration of AWS-based video processing workflows

This ensured technical robustness while keeping user experience central.
